CEO & Founder @ Cyberangels | Cybersecurity, Compliance and AI

"Thousands, millions of individuals work, produce, and save despite everything we (politics) can do to hassle them, obstruct them, and discourage them.
It is a pure mission, a clear vision that drives them, not just the thirst for money. The taste and pride in seeing their own company thrive, gain credibility, inspire trust in an ever-expanding clientele, expand facilities, and beautify premises are just as powerful motivators for progress as profit.
If this were not the case, it would be hard to explain why there are entrepreneurs who devote all their energy and invest all their capital into their businesses, often for far more modest returns than they could surely and comfortably achieve in other ventures."

Who am I? 
I am a father of two children, passionate about helping people succeed with technology. I have a strong professional background built over 18 years by interacting with customers and solving their problems. 
I am a 3x-founder, the first of which I started ten years ago, generating over $50 million in revenue.

Why should people listen to me?
I have firsthand experience with the solutions I propose, and I want to share the lessons I've learned to help people save time and money while focusing on their business challenges. 
My goal is to create a better business ecosystem where providers and customers work together as true partners to achieve valuable results. 
I prioritize sharing value rather than promoting products.

What am I passionate about?
Connecting people with technology to solve problems has always been my goal since I started my career. As a company founder, I found it crucial to create a close-knit culture where employees and customers are treated as part of a unique inner circle. 
You can expect to see this approach reflected in any conversation we have.

What will I do for people?
Sharing the value and lessons I've learned is how I feel confident in marking my professional journey. 
I offer free mentorship time to everyone, so let's have a talk.
